  1. It never took that long for me to that long. I often have plates in a week or so using a courier survice. If you go to PennDot in Harrisburg with the title and proof of insurance they will give them to you on the spot. They will mail you the title with antique brand later. If you plan on working the truck later you do not want to put antique tags on it. I am told it is very difficult to convert it back unless it is sold. It used to automatically convert to regular. You can bet temporary tags, but they cost the same amount as normal tags for whatever weight you use. Mike
  2. Thanks Mike. My bumper is ok, but not perfect. I have a new aftermarket bumper, but it is not the same as the original. I know of 2 trucks in junk yards around here, but have not gotten the time to go look at them. Firemack stripped the interior out of the one already and the bumper and grill are bad, but maybe the fuel tank is ok. I really like that first MH. I'm glad it is sold because I do not need any more trucks. (Not that I won't buy anymore though). Thanks, Mike
  3. Will you be selling any parts or just complete trucks. I need some interior parts for our 1988 and 1993 MH612's(seat pads and covers and a dog box cover) Also the left upper grill piece, a fuel tank and a bumper, but this stuff might be hard to ship. Thanks, Mike
  4. Where are you located? Mike
  5. I decided to buy a small farm instead. I might not be buying any trucks for a little while, but I will have more room to store them once my back account recovers. George, I am moving to Red Corner Rd in Union Township Berks County over by French Creek. Mike
  6. They kept this truck until the company shut down. John said he took these pictures in the 80's. I tried to buy this truck, but it was already sold when I got there. I think it was the nicest of the old trucks they had. I like the ones I got, but I really like this one. I offered the new owner $1000 over what he paid. He said "no, thank you." I think the dump I posted earlier has the 5 speed out of the CF in it. I don't know if it has anything behind it. I will ask him when I see him next. Mike
  7. It is the abandoned vehicle code. Most municipalities in PA have one. All vehicles must be licensed, registered, insured and complete. If not the land owner can be fined $100 per day per vehicle. Each township enforces the law differently. Some only act on it if there is a complaint. Some roam the township looking for infractions. My township will tag anything that is visible from the road. I am moving to a township that only tags if there is a complaint. I had 11 vehicles tagged two years ago. We moved most of them out of view. We sold some. We are in the process of cutting up a B85F and a B42S. If you insure it antique and get an perminent antique license you should be ok, but maybe not if it has a flat tire or something else that makes it unpresentable. Good Luck, Mike http://www.bigmacktrucks.com/index.php?/gallery/image/10005-nuisance-vehicles-sticker/
  8. I bought the C90 in July of 2008. Bud Temple, who had owned Frame's, still had the 1950 C65. I tried to buy that too, but his son wanted to keep it. I don't think his son was very happy that he sold this one. The C90 is the nice truck anyway and it is more unique. It is my favorite truck in my collection. Mike
  9. I am glad to live in an area with so much trucking history. Autocars were built just south of where I live and Macks are built 18 miles north. Here are my two Autocars. I might have posted them before. This is a 1960 DC75T with a 250 Cummins with a Jake and a 5 and a 2. It was built in Exton, PA http://www.bigmacktrucks.com/index.php?/gallery/image/13170-1960-autocar-dc75t/ This is a 1950 C90D. It has a 501 Blue Streak gas and a 5 and a 2. It has a hydraulic lift tag axle. The drive axle is 8' 6" wide so it would have needed a permit every time is went on the road until the width law changed. It was built in Ardmore, PA before White bought Autocar in 1953 and moved the plant to Exton. http://www.bigmacktrucks.com/index.php?/gallery/image/9716-1950-autocar-c90/ Mike
  10. Do you have a phone number for them? I am partial to fire trucks. It woud go well with my 1979 GMC 7000. Mike
  11. Nice score. I guess it won't be coming east to my house then. Mike
  12. They are great. Keep them coming. The one with the shovels on the train is a work of art.
  13. Here is another stainless Autocar. I think there were about a dozen made. There was a good article in Double Clutch a few years ago. Gap and another guy Gene(?) own about 5 of them. The one on the trailer has a few problems, but is still a very neat truck. Some of you may not like the Pete hauler, but it is a nice, original truck. Mike
  14. What's the word on the G model? Did you buy it? Is it on a trailer headed to my house? My birthday is coming up in a few months. Mike
  15. It didn't sell. I thought $8,000 didn't seem like a bad price for so many good parts or an unusual toy. Mike
  16. This one is in Gerhart's boneyard. The signs were removed last year though. Mike
  17. I just heard a story about him on NPR Monday. I had never heard of him before. He made $19,000 a year playing major league ball. Nice truck. Mike
  18. I have a fuel pump off a B85 and also a 5 speed transmission. I do not know what model 5 speed, but can find out. Make me an offer. I am in Pennsylvania. The truck above is in Kentucky or I would have bought it. It would cost too much to ship. Mike
  19. That A54 belongs to Jim Widman. I have the serial number around somewhere for the other A model. It had belonged to Tom Zacney. Mike
  20. Here is my A20H. http://www.bigmacktrucks.com/index.php?/gallery/image/10003-mack-a20h-1844/ Here is my A40. My 405A is in the middle. http://www.bigmacktrucks.com/index.php?/gallery/image/10999-macungie-2012/. I can get you better pictures of any of them. Mike
  21. Nice trucks have come from much less. If you are going to restore it you really have your work cut out for you. It is a neat truck. Good luck. Mike
  22. Yes it is a Spartan. I took the emblems off of it to compound and polish it. Mike
